Who establishes the rates charged by Acton Nursing Services for the home health care it provides?
Reimbursement rates are determined by the payer (Medicare, Medicaid/Mass Health, the Veterans Administration or insurance companies according to their contracts). Medicare reimbursement rates are not negotiable: they are established by Medicare on a national level. Medicaid and Mass Health rates are also non-negotiable and are generally less generous than Medicare.
